COMMUNICATION 

FROM THE GOVERNOR TRANSMITTING A REPORT OF 
MR. JOHN'JAY, SPECIAL COMMISSIONER APPOINTED 
TO REPRESENT NEW YORK STATE IN THE BOARD 
OF MANAGERS OF THE NATIONAL CEMETERY AT 
ANTIETAM. 

STATE OF NEW YORK : 

Executive Department, 
Albany, Apnl 7, 1868. 
To the Senate : 

I have the honor to transmit a report submii ted by Mr. John 
Jay, a special Commissioner appointed to represent the State in 
the Board of Managers of the National Cemetery at Antietam. 
In addition to much interesting information respecting the man- 
agement of the Cemetery, the report is accompanied by an official 
list of the soldiers from this State who fell upon the battle-field, 
authenticated by a careful comparison with original records, and 

possessing great historic value. 

R. E. FENTON. 



To His Excellency Governor Fenton : 

Sir — I have the honor to submit a brief report as " Special Com- 
missioner to co-operate with the Board of Managers and the Com- 
missioners from Maryland and other States in the establishment 
of a National Cemetery upon the battle-field of Antietam," under 
your excellency's commission dated 23d October, 1867. 

On the 29th of the same month I left New York for Baltimore, 
where I met by appointment Col. W. Yates Silleck, the Commis- 

[Senate, No. 82.] 1 



' \\J^^ ' 2 [Senate 

siouer from "Wisconsin, and chairman of the executive committee; 
unci we proceeded to Antietam, where we were joined by Dr. 
Augustine A. Biggs and Thomas A. BouUt, Esq., two of the Com- 
missioners for the State of Maryland, named in the act of incor- 
poration — Dr. Biggs being the President and Mr. Boullt the Treas- 
urer of the Board. In company with these gentlemen, to whose 
courtesy I was greatly indebted, I made a careful examination of 
the cemetery grounds and improvements, and Dr. Biggs exhibited 
to me his accounts and register, which appeared to be kept with 
minute exactness; and, I may add, that the duties of that officer 
as general manager of the work of the cemetery grounds seemed 
to have been performed with great fidelity, and with a careful 
regard to perfectness of execution and economy of cost. 

The cemetery plot is of irregular shape; the longest side on the 
north facing upon the Sharpsburg and Booneboro turnpike 779 
feet, the west line 670 feet, the south side 43 L feet, the east 767 
feet. It has been thoroughly drained, and surrounded by a mas- 
sive wall of great excellence, both as regards the character of the 
stone and the style of the work. This wall on the north side is 
surrounded by an iron fencing, affording a view of the cemetery 
from the road, with a proper gateway, with main and side en- 
trances — the posts of which exhibit in carving symbols of the 
Union in the shield and eagle. 

On the right of the entrance within the cemetery stands a sub- 
stantial stone lodge, nearly completed, for the residence of the 
keeper, and with a convenient reception room. 

The grounds already occupied by graves form a semi-ellipse, 
divided into segments of circles, sections, and parallelograms; 
each division being numbered by a letter, and each section of 
graves numbered in order. 

All the interments thus far made have been made under the 
orders of the War Department in pursuance of an act of Congress 
by the United States Burial Corps. On the 23d May, 1867, the 
number of dead thus removed was 3,580, of whom 2,462 were 
identified, and 1,118 unknown; and the total number has since 
been increased to 4,695. 

The dead have all been buried under the personal superintend- 
ence of Dr. Biggs, who has entered in his register on the spot the 
name, number, company, and regiment of the deceased, wherever 
the remains were identified, so that each grave can be known with 
certainty, in case the friends should wish to remove the body. 



No. 82.] 3 

Excepting in a few cases of removal from other cemeteries, 
where the graves are marked by the original head-boards, the 
graves are still unmarked. No uniform plan of headstones has as 
yet been adopted. 

Besides New York, the following States have contributed to the 
expenses of the cemetery : Maryland, New Jerse}^ Minnesota, 
Maine, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, West Virginia, 
Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana, Vermont, and Michigan. 

The moneys already appropriated by these States, including 
ten thousand dollars appropriated by New York, and now paid in 
full ($4,500 having been paid by my predecessor, and $5,500 by 
myself), will be more than sufficient to complete the general work 
of the cemetery, including the lodge, roads, walks and planting; 
leaving, as I am informed, a probable balance after all the moneys 
appropriated by other States have been paid, of from five to seven 
thousand dollars toward the work still remaining to be done, in 
supplying head-stones with inscriptions; and, towards the monu- 
ment, which it is proposed to erect on the highest part of the 
cemeter}^ grounds. 

The design adopted by the board, for this monument, is a 
colossal granite statue, upon a granite pedestal, of a soldier in the 
National uniform keeping guard over the dead; and from this 
elevated position in the midst of the battlefield of Antietam, it 
will be visible from afar in every direction. 

The estimated cost of this monument will be $30,000. The 
artist, Mr. J. G. Batterson, of Hartford, has been requested to 
furnish a photograph of the design for the final approval of the 
board, and an apportionment of the cost will be made among the 
States whose dead repose in the cemetery, and who have united 
in its establishment. 

I am at present unable to advise yonr Excellency of the exact 
amount that will be yet required from New York toward the 
erection of gravestones or for the monument, but as the former 
should be erected without unnecessary delay, I beg leave to sug- 
gest the advisability of an appropriation by the Legislature of a 
further sum of ten thousand dollars for this purpose, to be called 
for as it may be required, and to be paid either to the treasurer 
of the Antietam board, or to such person as may be employed, 
with their approval; to furnish head-stones with inscriptions for 
the graves of the New York soldiers, upon the requisition of the 



4 [Senate 

special commissioner of this State, indorsed with the approval of 
the Executive. 

Subsequently to my visit to Antietam, I attended on the 5th of 
December, a meetino^ of the board of trustees at Washington. 

At that meeting, Mr. Boult, one of the commissioners from 
Maryland, called attention to the sections of the act of incorpora- 
tion, devoting the cemetery to the burial of all who fell in the 
battle of Antietam; and during an animated debate which arose 
upon the subject, I read the letter addressed to me by your Ex- 
cellency, on that point, dated the 3d November, and introduced 
a resolution which was amended and adopted as follows : 

'■'Resolved^ That in pursuance of the provisions of the fourth 
section of the act of Maryland, passed March 23, 1865, incorpo- 
rating the Antietam National Cemetery, this board do now allot 
and designate, for the burial of the Confederate dead who fell in 
the battle of Antietam, or in the first invasion of Lee, the south- 
ern portion of the cemetery grounds not now occupied, and sepa- 
rate from the ground devoted to the burial of the Union dead." 

The vote, on the adoption of the resolution, was as follows : 

Ayes — Maryland, New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, Vermont, 
Indiana and Minnesota — 7. 

Noes — Ohio and West Viririuia — 2. 

The grounds thus allotted embrace, as it was stated, more than 
two acres, and should they prove iusuificient, there are additional 
plots which might be similarly appropriated. 

In accordance with the suggestion contained in your Excel- 
lency's letter, that the attention of the War Department might 
be properly called to the subject of the burial of the Confederate 
dead, attended by Col. Silleck, of Wisconsin, I waited upon 
General Grant, submitted to him the facts, and asked if the De- 
partment could render in this case the same assistance, which 
they had already given in the case of the Union dead. 

General Grant expressed his decided approval of the fulfillment, 
b}'' the trustees, of the provisions and intent of the charter in this 
particular, and his own readiness to give them whatever assistance 
he could render ; but, upon consultation with Inspector-General 
E. A. Schriver, he advised us, that the previous employment of 
the United States Burial Corps had been in pursuance of a general 
act of Congress, providing for the burial of the Union dead 
throughout the country, and that the department was without 
authority and without funds for the work in question. 



No. 82.] 5 

111 answer to a question as to the advisability of an application 
to Congress to make an appropriation for the purpose, he referred 
to the determined spirit of retrenchment at present prevailing at 
the capitol, as rendering the success of such a proposition at this 
time extremely doubtful. 

This opinion of General Grant was confirmed by a number of 
Senators and Representatives, with whom I advised. 

Whether the southern States, as at present constituted, wdll 
notice the action of the Board in allotting grounds for the inter- 
ment of their dead, and respond to it by appropriations for that 
purpose, is, perhaps, a matter of uncertainty. 

In case no such appropriations should be made by the present 
governments of those States, and if their reconstruction should, 
from any cause, be postponed beyond the present winter, I think 
it clear, that the work of gathering up and decently interring, in 
the cemetery grounds set apart for that purpose, the remains of 
the confederate dead, may, in such case, be regarded as a work 
which the humanity and honor of the northern States, whose 
troops were victorious in that contest, require them promptly to 
undertake. 

I would, therefore, respectfully suggest that, should such a con- 
tingency occur, the Legislature of New York, should they approve 
the recommendation, might conveniently instruct the State com- 
missioner in this regard, and made a special appropriation to cover 
the proper share of New York in the cost of such removal and 
interment. 

It is a fact not pleasant to relate, but which, nevertheless, 
has a significance not to be overlooked in this connection, that the 
remains of the confederate dead on the battle field of Antietam, 
for whose equal benefit, as your Excellency has distinctly shown 
from the act of Maryland, this cemetery w^as established, now lie 
buried on the battle field, occasionally at a depth so shallow that 
their bones are sometimes disturbed by the ploughshare and the 
harrow. Dr. Biggs, President of the Board, stated, that a skull 
was recently brought to him which had been turned up separated 
from the body. 

I submit to your Excellency, that the decent interment of these 
remains is a matter that closely concerns the National character, 
that it is one with which the passing politics of the day have no 
right, and, I trust, no disposition to intermeddle, and perhaps, 
also, as one in which our State may be supposed to feel an especial 



6 [Senate 

interest, from the fact, that the battle of Antietam, the first deci- 
sive victory of the war that protected us from a southern invasion 
was won by the heroism of an army to which New York had 
largely contributed. 

I have the honor to be, sir. 

Very respectfully, 

Your obedient servant, 

JOHN JAY, 
Special Commissioner^ (&c. 
New ork, December Idth, 1867. 



COMMUNICATION FROM JOHN JAY, TRANSMITTING AN 
OFFICIAL LIST OF THE DEAD OF THE STATE OF 
NEW YORK INTERRED IN THE NATIONAL CEME- 
TERY OF ANTIETAM. 

To His Excellency Governor Fenton : 

Sir — I have the honor herewith to transmit an official list, 
hereto appended, marked "Appendix I," of the dead of New York, 
commissioned officers and privates, who are interred in the Na- 
tional Cemetery of Antietam. The list was originally furnished 
to me by Dr. Biggs, the President of the Antietam Board of Trus- 
tees, and has since been revised and corrected in the office of the 
Adjutant-General of this State. 

It gives, in regard to each soldier buried in the cemetery, 
first, the number of the lot; secondly, the number of the grave; 
thirdly, the rank of the deceased; fourthly, his name; fifthly and 
sixthly, the company and regiment to which he belonged; seventhly, 
the arm of the service, whether infantry, cavalry or artillery; eighth- 
ly, the date of his death; and ninthly, occasional remarks giving 
further particulars, as to the time and place of his death, whether 
in action or in hospital, of wounds or disease. The list includes 
the names of only nine commissioned officers, the remains of the 
officers having been gcnerallj^ removed by their friends after the 
battle of Antietam; of eight hundred and eighty-six non-commis- 
sioned officers and privates, including some teamsters and forage- 
masters, and thirty-nine names of soldiers whose residence is 
unknown. 

The original preparation of this list at the cemetery must have 
required a large share of time and attention. Its revision in the 



No. 82.] T 

office of the Adjiitant-Geueral has been somewhat hihorious and 
difficult, and the roll is fragmentary and incomplete. "This list,"' 
remarked the Assistant Adjutant-General, " when received was of 
necessity very imperfect, in many instances part of the name being 
given, in others the initial letter only; sometimes the wrong com- 
pany, and often the wrong regiment, as, for instance, a soldier may 
appear in this list as belonging to the 10th infsmtry, and his name 
be found on the rolls of the 10th cavalry or artillery ; or he may 
be represented as belonging to the 49th regiment, and be found 
on the rolls of the 149th regiment. It has therefore been neces- 
sary to examine every roll or return on w^hich it was at all likely 
the name of the soldier might appear. 

It would seem from the frequent remark attached to the names 
of soldiers in the office of the Adjutant-General, that their rolls 
had " no record of the death," that, in many instances, the Antie- 
tam list has conveyed to that office the first official information of 
the fact. When printed, this list will probably convey to the 
widows and children, the family and friends of manj'^ a soldier 
buried at Antietam, the first authentic information when and where 
he fell, and the advice that the exact place of the interment in the 
Antietam Cemetery, has been named, marked and numbered with 
religious care, so that, amid the thousands there sleeping together, 
the survivors can stand by the turf that covers their own dead and 
lay the tribute of their affection upon his separate grave. In many 
cases, also, they may learn where the dead soldier fell — whether 
on the battle-field of Antietam, which the visitor to the cemetery 
beholds all around him, or from death wounds received at Har- 
per's Ferry or Bakersville, in Maryland, Richmond, in Virginia, 
Gettysburgh, in Pennsylvania, South Mountain, Crampton Pass, 
Burkesville, Knoxville, Downsville, Frederick, Baltimore, Cum- 
berland Gap, Winchester, Sandy Hook, Maryland Heights, all in 
the State of Maryland; whether he died in one of the hospitals, 
or whether, in the words of one touching record, he was " left 
mortally wounded on the field," 

In many cases, too, the friends and relatives of the dead can 
supply to the Adjutant-General additional information, proper to 
be entered upon the rolls, and gradually the record, now so imper- 
fect, will become more complete. 

I would therefore respectfully suggest, that the list hereto 
appended be printed, and that a sufficient number of copies be 
supplied to the Adjutant-General's office for the relations and 



8 [Senate 

friends who may apply for the same. If thus printed, as I trust 
it may be, it should be done under the supervision of the Adju- 
tant-General, and if the corrections made in the roll by that officer 
were, throughout, placed in italics, it would be, on some accounts, 
a matter of convenience. 

In making this recommendation, I beg leave to recall to Your 
Excellency the suggestions, in my last report, for a further appro- 
priation by the Legislature, towards supplying head-stones for our 
dead soldiers, and any further expenses properly incidental to the 
completion of the cemetery. 

Since the date of that report, His Excellency, the Governor of 
Pennsylvania, has advised the Legislature of that State, that he 
had withheld an appropriation of $3,000 which had been pre- 
viously made to the cemetery, and based the withholding chiefly 
upon the action of the board of trustees in appropriating a part 
of the cemetery, in accordance with the provisions of the charter, 
for the burial of the confederate dead. A member of Congress 
from Pennsylvania, the Honorable John Covode, in an elaborate 
published letter addressed to Your Excellency, indorsed and 
seconded the views and action of Governor Geary, which consti- 
tuted, in fact, an accusation that the trustees had violated their 
trust, and were perverting a cemetery devoted to the burial of the 
loyal dead to the interment of rebels. As these assaults upon 
the trustees were calculated to impair the confidence of the people 
in the integrity of their management, and as the action of the 
trustees was initiated in the board by me, as the special commis- 
sioner from New York, I have deemed it proper to reply to the 
letter of Mr. Covode, including, as it did, a notice of the argu- 
ments of Governor Geary, in a letter, a copy of which is hereto 
appended, marked " Appendix II," showing that the trustees had 
110 discretion in the matter, but were bound legally and honorably 
to observe, in good faith, the provisions originally established by 
the State of Maryland, and that any other course would have been 
a breach of the condition to which Pennsylvania and New York 
had assented when they appointed commissioners, made appro- 
priations, and buried their dead in the inclosure. 
I have the honor to be, sir. 

Your excellency's most obd't servant, 

JOHN JAY, 
Sjpecial Commissioner, tCc. 

New Yokk, Apil 2d, 1868.

APPENDIX 11. 

COMMUNICATION FROM MR. JOHN JAY IN REPLY TO 
A LETTER WRITTEN GOV. FENTON BY HON. JOHN 
COVODE, M. C. 

Hon. John Covode, House of Representatives: 

Sir— As oue of the commissioners of the Antietam Cemetery, 
I beg leave to answer your elaborate note to Governor Feuton, in 
regard to what you call his " Antietam letter." 

It was in consequence of information officially communicated 
by me to the Governor that that letter was written; and fully 
concurring in its arguments, its sentiments and its recommend- 
ation, I inU-oduced to the trustees of the cemetery, the resolution 
which they adopted by a vote of seven States to two, allotting 
a separate part of the grounds, in pursuance of the charter, for 
the burial of the Southern dead. 

It was this resolution to which Governor Geary referred in his 
recent message, as justifying the withholding an appropriation of 
$3,000, that had been previously pledged to the cemetery bj the 
State of Pennsylvania, and which was made the text for his 
remarks which you approvingly quote, on National honors and 
monuments to the rebel dead. 

In these circumstances which make your widely circulated letter 
to Governor Fenton, in fact, an assault upon myself and my col- 
leagues in the board, you will find my apology for thus address- 
ing you. 

I propose to vindicate the recommendation of Governor Fenton, 
for which you have arraigned him before the country, and to defend 
the action of the trustees, which Governor Geary has denounced 
to the Legislature of Pennsylvania. 

Neither vindication nor explanation would have been called for, 
had you in your letter, or had Governor Geary in his message, 
frankly quoted the arguments of Governor Fenton; showing as he 
did, by careful reference to the act of incorporation, that his re- 



36 [Senate 

commendation and the trustees' resolution, were based upon the 
simplest faith and the clearest duty; and I regret that you have 
compelled me, in defending my associates and myself, to show 
that both letter and message were strangely disingenuous in their 
statements, and singularly unjust in their charges and insinuations. 

The burden of your letter is, that Governor Fenton had made 
*' recommendations of National honors to the rebel dead." You 
say to him, "I think you will find that in common with me hun- 
dreds of thousands of loyal men, whose hearts yet bleed with 
wounds received in the wicked war the slaveholders urged 
against the Nation's life, have been shocked and outraged by 
your recommendation to do lienor to the authors of their sorrows 
and the workers of their countrijs woes^ 

Again, you characterize his letter as a " heartless mistake," and 
you close with an intimation that it was an insult to be remem- 
bered and avenged by "the survivors of the Union Army, and 
the relatives of its dead and wounded." 

These, sir, are grave charges, made publicly, and with seeming 
sincerity and indignation; and yet they find no warrant whatever 
in the recommendation made by Governor Fenton, and acted on 
by the trustees. 

Let me briefly remind you of what the Governor did say in his 
Antietam letter. He called my attention to the fact that the 
cemetery was originally purchased by the State of Maryland, as 
a State cemetery for the burial of all who fell on either side in 
the battle of Antietam; that by a subsequent act (Section 2d), it 
was devoted in perpetuity as a National Cemetery, for the pur- 
pose of the burial and final resting place of the remains of the 
soldiers who fell at the battle of Antietam, or at other points 
north of the Potamac river, during the invasion of Lee, in the 
summer and fall of 18(32, or died thereafter in consequence of 
wounds received in said battle, or during the said invasion." 

That by the fourth section, entrusting the care and management 
of the grounds solely to the trustees, it was declared that " it shall 
be their duty, out of funds that may come into their hands, by 
State appropriation or otherwise, to remove the remains of all the 
bodies referred to in the second section of this act, and to have them 
propirly interred in the aforementioned ground. The remains of 
the soldiers of the Confederate Army, to be buried in a jxirt of the 
ground, separate from those of the Union Army^ 

That the third section named four trustees from the State of 



No. 82.J 37 

Maryland, who, with one trustee from each of the other States, 
to be appointed by the Governor of their respective States, were 
created a body politic, under the name of the Antietam National 
Cemetery, to whom should be conveyed the ground referred to. 
Governor Fenton remarked, that from these extracts, it was clear 
that the use for which the ground was purchased, with power to 
the trustees, and appropriations by the State of Maryland, Avas 
as a burial ground for all who fell on either side, with tlie single 
proviso, that the ground should be separated, and that a duty 
rested on the board in reference to the two classes of fallen 
soldiers, the board being instructed to appropriate one part of the 
cemetery grounds for the dead of one arni}^, and a separate part 
for the burial of the other." 

Governor Fenton referred to the fact, that the trustees thus far 
had executed the duties imposed upon them only in reference to 
the Union dead, who, at the suggestion of the board, had been 
buried by the authority and at the expense of the United States 
Government. He then suggested, that even if it should be urged 
in reply to this argument, that inasmuch as the States lately in 
rebellion had not joined the Association, nor contributed to its 
funds, the board were not bound to devote to the burial of the 
rebel dead any part of the funds received from the States which 
furnished no soldiers to the confederate army, yet, to this argu- 
ment, Maryland and West Virginia were exceptions, since they 
had each furnished such soldiers, and they had each contributed 
to the funds. He then added: ''But looking at the matter not 
from a narrow, technical point of view, but from a broad National 
standpoint, it seems to me that good faith towards the State of 
Maryland, which originated the scheme, purchased the ground, 
enacted the law, and made two appropriations to carry out its 
objects, make it the clear duty of the trustees to effectuate, as far 
as lies in their power, the known intent of the act, and that such 
a course will meet the approval of the people of the loyal States 
who have become parties to the corporation, and whose dead repose 
in the cemetery." 

Then came an allusion to the fact that a local and individual 
feeling m the neighborhood of Antietam might have created an 
indifference to the disposition of the confederate dead, and the 
Governor offered the brief reflections which you quote, intended 
to soothe the feelings of any friends of the Union dead who might 
think that the near burial of their rebel antagonists would disturb 



38 [Senate 

their slumbers, and, after referring to the well known case in our 
own history of the British and Americans who fell at Plattsburgh 
sleeping side by side, and to Wolfe and Montcalm reposing under 
a common monument on the plains of Abraham, he alluded to the 
probable influence of this cemetery in aiding our National recon- 
struction: "To-day nothing, perhaps, could soojier re-awaken a 
National spirit in the heart of the South than the thought that 
represe'^itatives of the Northern States were gathering the remains 
of its fallen sons for interment in our National Cemetery; and in 
future days, when our country is one, not alone in its boundaries, 
but in spirit and affection, and the struggle is remembered as a 
war less of sections than of systems, the cemetery at Antietam, 
with its collossal statue of a Union soldier keeping guard over 
the ashe^ of all who fell in the opjDOsing ranks of McClellan and 
Lee, wall have a common interest for the descendants of those 
who died on either side in that sad and memorable civil war." 
The letter closed with the recommendation which you have so 
strangely perverted: " I think, therefore, that the trustees of the 
Antietam Cemetery, especially in view of the fact, that the South- 
ern States have not thus far been in a position to contribute to the 
general funds, should either set apart a sufBcient plot of ground 
within the cemetery wall for the burial of the confederate dead, 
or make suitable arrangements for an enlargement of the present 
enclosure, if necessary to the attainment of the end proposed. I 
would also recommend that the attention of the War Department 
be called to the subject, and I entertain no doubt that the Secre- 
tary of War will cheerfully cooperate in an object of so much 
interest." 

Such was Governor Fenton's letter. Now, sir, for the fairness 
of your comments. Instead of meeting his argument you avoid 
it; you do not even allude to the act of Maryland, nor to his 
examination of its provisions. You ignore entirely the fact that 
the cemetery was dedicated equally to the burial of the Union and 
the confederate soldiers, that the trustees were bound by the charter 
to carry out that provision, and that their obligations in this 
regard were the more sacred from the circumstance that the States 
recently in rebellion, being unrepresented in the board, were 
miable to protect the rights of their dead, and then you denounce 
Governor Fenton as recommending to the trustees to pay National 
honors to the rebel dead. 

Of these omissions and misrepresentations, apparently inexpli- 



No. 82.] 39 

able and inexcusable, your letter presents a sad and touching 
explanation. After reciting, with a father's pride and a father's 
grief, the services and sufferings of your two gallant sons, one of 
whom died in the service of his country amid brutalities that were 
oiFshoots from the root of slavery, and the other of whom nar- 
rowly escaped with his life, after a cruel imprisonment in "the 
death pen at Audersonville," you say, in reference to the extracts 
given by you from the Governor's letter: " I have read these 
paragraphs twice and thrice, but a dimness, other that the film of 
age, obscures them from my vision. It is in vain that I have 
wiped the spectacles of an old man, and endeavored deliberately 
and clearly to see in your words a justification for the recommen- 
dation they make. Two forms come between my sight and the 
printed page, they stay there and will not move away." 

I appreciate, sir — no father who has had a son in this long and 
bitter war, could fail to appreciate — the frankness with which you 
admit that the recollection of the suffering of your boys dims the 
clearness of your vision, and that the forms of your children per- 
sistently stand between you and the printed page of Governor 
Fenton's letter. It may be that these sacred and shadowy forms, 
standing persistently before you, like immovable statutes of grief 
and anger, will no more allow you to read plainly this letter, than 
they did that of Governor Fenton. But that gentleman and the 
trustees whom you have denounced, may, I think, appeal with 
confidence from your judgment thus sorrowfully obscured, to the 
clearer vision of' their countrymen. 

It should afford occasion, perhaps, neither for surprise nor dis- 
pleasure that, seen through a dense and disturbing medium, even 
the beautiful form of truth should be transformed to a monster; 
that faith and charity, those noblest of the virtues, should assume 
the appearance of crimes, and that a suggestion to the trustees to 
fulfill their bounden duty and allot to the rebel dead their ap- 
pointed share of the cemetery, should seem to your perturbed 
spirit, a recommendation of National honors to the authoi-s of the 
rebellion. Yet, the lesson suggested by so painful a delusion on 
your part, should not be lost with the American people. We 
early learned that anger was a brief machiess. We now see that 
sorrow and resentment unduly prolonged and cherished, may pro- 
duce, unconsciously, a mental and moral blindness, which ignores 
the most sacred claims of honor and duty; which libels the living 
through its inability to perceive the truths, and which, in the name 



40 [Senate 

of patriotism, would rob the dead of their rightful graves. Such 
blindness, were it universal and incurable, would result in a faith 
more faithless than the Punic — a facility of misrepresentation that 
the old Cretans might have envied, and an excess of barbarism at 
which heathens would have blushed. 

Your letter, sir, as it seems to me, teaches us the danger, the 
folly and the injustice of basing a public policy on private griefs, 
and affords a glimpse of the anarch}^ of morals that would result 
from the indulgence of personal vengeance by political leaders. 

But, in view of your own admission, alike sorrowful and frank, 
of the reasons why you could not read clearly the printed page 
of Governor Fenton's letter, I forbear to enlarge upon this point, 
and I pass to the views which you quote with such admiration 
from the message of Governor Geary. 

Upon the sentiments and conduct of his Excellency, the Execu- 
tive of Pennsylvania, I shall comment as upon your letter, not 
impertinently as an individual, but as one of the trustees of the 
Antietam Cemetery, and as the mover of the resolution on account 
of which he has withdrawn an appropriation, and has, by impli- 
cation at least, denounced the board as guilty of violating their trust, 
and of desecrating the cemetery they were appointed to guard. 

To avoid the danger of misrepresenting his Excellency, as he 
has misrepresented the board, let me quote his own language, 
calling 3'our attention more especially to the two paragraphs 
which I place in italics. "The appropriation of three thousand 
dollars to the cemetery at Antietam, has been withheld; as it 
appears from the act of incorporation by the Legislature of Mary- 
land, and the resolutions of the board of trustees, that the rebel 
dead are to be interred within the inclosure, and to be honored 
with the same memorials as the Union solders who are there buried. 
The custom has ever prevailed, to specially honor those in death, 
who won special honor by meritorious lives. The monuments 
reared to the memory of departed worth, bear ample testimony 
that our people have not been unmindful of this custom, but 
where were such memorials ever erected for men whose actions 
were infamous, and who perished in an ignoble cause? Who 
would glorify the treason of Benedict Arnold with such monu- 
ments as have arisen to the memory of Washington? Who would 
dare to insult the loyal heart of this nation, by proposing to lay, 
side by side, in the same sepulchre, the body of the assassin 
Booth and that of Abraham Lincoln? No loyal man would take 



No. 82.] 41 

the heartless Wirtz aud the other demons that presided over the 
prison dens of cruelty, starvation and death, and the executed 
conspirators against the nation's illustrious chief, and deposit them 
in the same tomb with the patriotic men who sacrificed theii* lives 
in battling for the right against the wrong. Yet it ts proposed 
that the loyal States construct cemeteries for their heroic dead, and 
then desecrate the,m by the burial therein of those who prosecuted 
against the country, a warfare, which for its diabolical ferocity is 
without a parallel in the history of civilization- and even to erect 
monuments to their memory. Carry out this purpose, and what 
inducement can be hereafter offered to the loyal citizen to fight 
against treason, when he feels assured that, should he fall in bat- 
tle, the traitor's grave will be honored equally with his own. * * 

While there is no reasonable objection to giving decent sepulture 
even to the rebel dead, those who consider them deserving of 
honorable testimonials may bestow them. It is our duty to ren- 
der honor only to whom we believe honor is due." 

Although the language of the Governor may not indicate with 
entire clearness who are the persons thus alluded to aud con- 
demned, I think that here are two distinct imputations against the 
trustees, rendered as reasons why the Governor of Pennsylvania, 
indignant at their faithlessness, withholds his appropriation: 

1. That the Autietam Cemetery was devoted by the loyal States 
to the burial of the Union dead, and that it is now proposed to 
desecrate it by the burial therein of the Confederate dead. 

2. That they even propose to erect monuments to the rebel 
soldiers Avhom the Governor associates, in illustrating his views, 
with the assassin Booth, the heartless Wirtz, "and the other 
demons," who presided over the prison dens of cruelty, starva- 
tion and death. 

Without imputing to Governor Geary the slightest intention to 
misrepresent the facts, I may remark that the answer to both 
imputations is simply that they are both untrue. 

The Antietam Cemetery, I have shown, was not constituted as a 
burial place for the Union soldiers alone who fell at Antietam, but 
as a burial place for all who fell on either side in that eventful 
battle, or who died of wounds received during the invasion ; and 
neither Governor Fenton nor the trustees have proposed to pay 
any national or other honors to the memory of the rebel dead. 

The charo-e touchino; the erection of monuments in their honor 
receives from the resolutions of the trustees no color of truth, nor 



42 [Senate 

even of plausibility, for the design of a monumental statute for 
the cemetery, a soldier on guard — an Union soldier, wearing the 
national uniform — had been adopted before any allotment was made 
by the trustees of a burial plot for the Confederate dead ; and no 
ino-enuity can convert into a tribute to the rebellion and its abet- 
tors a statute Avhose very garb will betoken the triumph of the 
Kepublic, and shows that the dust beneath it reposes under the folds 
of that flag and the protection of that Government which slavery 
and rebellion in vain attempted to humble and overthrow. 

Governor Geary refers also, in justification of the withholding 
the appropriation to the cemetery which had been made by his 
State, to the act of incorporation whose provisions I have quoted, 
and in that reference he seems to admit that the act required what 
the resolution which he censures declared. Yet his subsequent 
comments proceed on the hypothesis that the trustees, by their 
action, had violated the intent of their charter. The provisions 
of the act, as I have shown, were clear and imperative, that " the 
remains of the Confederate army be buried in a part of the 
grounds separate from those of the Union army," and it was made 
the duty of the trustees to remove the remains of all the soldiers. 

Such was the organic law of the cemetery ; such the object of 
its foundation by the State of Maryland ; such the duty of the 
trustees under the act from the moment of their appointment. 

These were the terms clearly stated, and impossible to be mis- 
understood, under which the State of Pennsylvania and her sister 
States of New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maine, Ehode Island, 
Wisconsin, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana, Vermont 
and Michigan voluntarihy accepted the privileges offered to them 
by the State of Maryland ; appointed each a trustee to futill the 
duties imposed by the act, and thus secured for their own dead a 
resting place upon the battle field where they fell. 

The resolution of the Board, quoted by Governor Geary as in 
part afiording ground for withholding the appropriation of Penn- 
sylvania, was as follows : 

''Revolved, That in pursuance of the provisions of the fourth 
section of the act of Maryland, passed March 23, 1865, incorpor. 
ating the Antietam National Cemetery, this board do now desig- 
nate and set apart for the burial of the Confederate dead, who fell 
in the battle of Antietam and in the first invasion of Lee, the 
southern portion of the grounds not now occupied, and separated 
from the ground devoted to the burial of the Union dead." 



No. 82] 43 

It appears from the printed proceedings of the Board at Wash- 
ington, December 5th, 1867, that the subject was introduced by 
one of the Commissioners of Maryland, Mr. BouUt, wlio called 
the attention of the board to the fourth section of the act, and re- 
quested that some action be taken to carry into effect the provision 
of the law in that behalf, and that the resolution was adopted b}^ the 
vote of seven votes to two, as follows : 

Ayes — Messrs. Jay, of New York; Selleck, of Wisconsin; Bagley, 
of Michigan; Rounds, of Vermont; Washburn, of Indiana; Ramsey, 
of Minnesota; Biggs, Schriver and BouUt, of Maryland — 9. 

Noes — Messrs. Cranmer, of West Virginia; and Loffland, of 
Ohio— 2. 

As this resolution providing separate grounds for the interment 
of the rebel dead was simply a re-affirmance and execution of the 
trust created by the act of incorporation, it is to be regretted that 
His Excellancy Governor Geary did not explain why that provi- 
sion in the act which compels him to withhold an appropriation 
now has never so operated before. 

Have the authorities of Pennsylvania, has His Excellancy Gov- 
ernor Geary now learned, for the first time, that the purpose to 
which the Antietam Cemetery was devoted by the State of Mary- 
land was the burial within the same inclosnre, but in separate 
plots, of all who fell in that battle ? Were the provisions of the 
act unknown to the authorities of. Pennsylvania when they ac- 
cepted the privileges which were tendered equally to all the 
States, and when they appointed their commissioner, made their 
appropriations and watched the burial in the cemetery of the 
heroic dead of Pennsylvania ? Or did the Governor seriously 
expect, as his message seems almost to imply, that the trustees 
from the loyal States, after securing the control of the grounds 
and burying their own dead, would trample on the provisions of 
the charter, ignore the duties it imposed, break faith with the 
State of Maryland, claim as their own the whole of the ground, 
and deliberately bar the gates of the cemetery against the admis- 
sion of the dead of the Confederate army ? 

It would seem, sir, although, of course, such a supposition is 
incredible, as if you and Governor Geary had really expected that 
the trustees would prove capable of so mean an act of treachery, 
and that you regarded their fidelity to their trust, and their ob- 
servance of the provisions of their charter, as an offence not to be 
forgiven. 



44 [Senate 

The rigbt of the State of Maryland to purchase the grouiifls 
for the burial of all who fell at Antietam, and to ofter to her sis- 
ter States the privilege of burial on that condition, was a right 
that none can question. The loyal States had an equal right to 
accept or reject her offer, and then was the time for each to decide 
whether or not the burial of the silent and unconscious combat- 
ants in separate plots, but within the same enclosure, was one 
which they could properly accept, or which they were bound to 
decline, as wounding to the feelings of the living and disrespect- 
ful to the memory of their dead. But having accepted the offer, 
and availed themselves of the privilege of burial, and having laid 
in decent graves more than 4,000 Union soldiers, it is too late now 
to reconsider whether they approve of the conditions of the act; 
too late to allege the infamies of Wirtz and Booth, and the hor- 
rors of the death pen at Andersonville, for none of which were 
the Confederate dead at Antietam responsible, as reasons why the 
remains of those dead should moulder, uncared for, without the 
walls of the cemetery which had been dedicated equally to all 
who had fallen in the contest. 

You may not perhaps be aAvare, sir, of the present condition of 
these outside graves, where, doubtless, some of our own brave 
dead lie undistinguished amid those who once were rebels; and 
the facts, little creditable to a Christain people, give force to the 
admission which Governor Geary condescendingly makes, that 
" there is no reasonable olijection to giving decent sepulture even 
to the rebel dead," although he appears to be willing — I trust it 
is only an appearance — to deprive them of the graves allotted and 
secured to them by Maryland, with the acquiescence and guaran- 
tee of Pennsylvania and her sister States. 

In a recent report officially made by me, as the Antietam com- 
missioner for New York, I said, "it is a fact not pleasant to relate, 
but which, nevertheless, has a significance not to be overlooked in 
this connection, that the remains of the Confederate dead now lie 
buried on the battle-field, occasionally at a depth so slight that 
their bones are sometimes disturbed by the ploughshare and the 
harrov.', and Dr. Biggs, president of the board, stated that a skull 
was recently brought to him which had been turned up separated 
from the body." 

You believe, sir, that this matter will be regarded by the sur- 
vivors of the Union Army, as it is by Governor G^eary and your- 
self, and that they will feel an indignation, akin to your own, at 



No. 81] 45 

Governor Fenton's recommendation to the trustees to fulfill faith- 
fully the conditions of their charter. One eminent survivor of that 
army, and one who represents perhaps more faithfully than any 
other the principles and the sentiments of his comrades, expressed 
to the trustees a different opinion, as appears from the following 
extract from the printed proceedings of their last meeting: 

" With reference to that part of Governor Fenton's letter which 
recommends that the attention of the War Department be called 
to this subject, Mr. Jay informed the Board that, in company with 
Col. Selleck, he had called that morning on General Grant, Secre- 
tary of War, and submitted to him the fticts of the case, that 
General Grant, after consulting with General Shriver as to the 
power of the Department, expressed Ins cordial approval of the 
fidfillment by the trustees of the provisions of the act, and his readi- 
ness to afford all the assistance in his power, regretting that no 
act of Congress conferred on the War Department any authority 

in the matter." 

Allow me, sir, to commend to Governor Geary's consideration 
and your own that opinion of the head of the army, and the 
expression of his regret that he had no power to assist the board 
ill removing to their allotted place in the cemetery the remains of 
the Confederate dead. The question which you and Governor 
Geary have raised, partly-at least, if I read aright your letter- 
from personal motives and for political effect, is one that concerns 
not alone Governor Fenton and the Antietam Trustees, but the con- 
science, the humanity, the respectability, and the honor of the 
nation. A recommendation is made by the Governor of ^ e w York 
to the State Commissioner, that the trustees should observe the 
fundamental conditions of their charter, and forthwith you from 
your seat in Congress, and Governor Geary from his executive 
chair, denounce the proposition and the board who adopt it in an- 
guage that seems to say "truth is a lie and faith is a folly, when 
we are dealing with the rights of the rebel dead. 

The old Romanists who kept not faith with the Christians whom 
they called heretics, and who heaped with insults their remains; 
the abettors of slavery, who treated with contumely the dead 
bodies of the blacks; and who, after the battle of Bull Run, dese- 
crated the bones of Union soldiers, afford no fit example for a 
mao-nanimous and Christian people. 

Although your words intimate that the trustees, in violation ot 
the act, Should exclude the remains of the Confederate dead, it 



46 [Senate 

is not possible that you entertain so low an opinion of your coun- 
trymen as to imagine them capable of approving an act so intol- 
erable in its baseness. For myself, I recognize no such national 
demoralization — no such bankruptcy of honor in the American 
people. I have confidence enough in their manly virtue to be- 
lieve, without a moment's hesitation, that they will approve cor- 
dially the statesmanly recommendation of Governor Fenton, the 
soldier-like views of General Grant, and the honest action of the 
board, and that whenever or wherever the question shall be raised, 
their reply, echoing the sentiments of General Grant and of everj"- 
manly heart, whether it beat in the bosom of a soldier or a citi- 
zen, will be that of Charles the Fifth, when urged by the monks 
to inflict vengeance on the remains of Luther: "Gentlemen, we 
war not with the dead." 

Thus, sir, does the organic law of the cemetery, though unaided 
by argument or illustration, vindicate the recommendation and the 
resolution which you and Governor Geary have assailed. The 
reading of that act alone may assuage the grief which oppressed 
3'ou at the thought that the trustees had been seduced into a vio- 
lation of their charter, and the desecrating of their cemetery; and 
3'ou may rejoice that the trustees, so far from yielding with reck- 
less immorality to the persuasions of individual and local preju- 
dice, and consenting to deviate a single line from the true intent 
of their charter, stand squarely upon that foundation of their 
rights and duties; obey honestly its spirit and its letter, and 
regard reverently the faith which it plighted, and the pledges for 
that faith which have been given in succession by every State 
represented in the board by a trustee, and in the cemetery by a 
soldier's grave. 

You may rejoice, sir, to find that so fiir from wounding the feel- 
ings of loyal and honorable men b}'^ faithlessness in a matter that 
concerns the dead, the action of the trustees commands the ap- 
proval not only of the General-in-Chief, but of every man, of Avhat- 
ever grade, who cherishes the honor of that Army of the Union, 
which, under his lead, saved from overthrow the American Re- 
public. 

Having thus responded to your assault upon the trustees, will 
you allow me to appeal to you as a national statesman desirous to 
reconstruct in the harmony and strength of equal freedom the 
country for which your sons have fought, and in w^hose service 
one of them has died ? Is it the part of wisdom, when engaged in. 



No. 82.] 47 

such a work, to base our public policy upon private soitows; to 
cherish and intensify the indignation they excite; to disturb the 
calm of the Antietam Cemetery by vengeful feelings toward the 
silent dead, who slumber unconscious in the field around it, and 
to obscure the duties of the present and the hopes of the future 
by brooding moodily on the inevitable past ? 

One fact related in your letter, and it is one of ten thousand 
similar instances of the touching fidelity of that race whose rights 
Congress is resolved to protect, and the pseudo democracy to 
overthrow, calls you to a nobler contest than a warfare against the 
nerveless limbs and mouldering dust where worms hold undis- 
puted dominion, save when the ploughshare disturbs their revels. 

When Col. Covode lay helpless amid the dying and the dead, 
an old colored woman brought him water to drink while he was 
dying, and the next day he was buried in her garden. That soli- 
tary friend of your dying boy who soothed the last moments of 
his life, and laid to rest in her garden the form you loved, was 
the representative of the humble race, upon our treatment of 
whom, depends in the future as in the past, the destiny of our 
country. 

To make their slavery the corner-stone of a new empire was 
the object of the rebellion; to reduce them again, freedmen and 
citizens as they have become, to the control of their oppressors, 
to build upon the abrogation of their rights, for which our national 
honor stands pledged, the old system of caste, privilege and aris- 
tocracy, is now the aim of the democratic leaders, whose policy 
during the war was rule or ruin; and who, after assisting domes- 
tic rebels and foreijjn foes to fill our land with mourninof and with 
debt, now affect to honor the flag which they wished to humble; 
to reverence the Constitution that they attempted to overthrow, 
in the hope that by such devices the}- may delude the people into 
selecting them to control the National Government which their 
treachery was unable to destroy. 

Such an event, were it possible, would undo in large measure, 
all that the war accomplished at so great a cost. It would involve 
the Eepublic once more in peril, turmoil and confusion; it would 
postpone indefinitely the return of national peace and national 
prosperity; it would disappoint the hopes of humanity, and 
shake once more the confidence of the world in the stability of 
our Republic. 

In this latest act of the rebellion drama, bloodless though it be, 



48 [Senate 

the part assigned us is hardly less important than in those that are 
passed, the actors in which have finished their parts, and left an 
undivided country as their enduring monument. 

Our part is yet to be accomplished, and emulating the devotion 
of your sons, let us, without unnecessary disagreement on minor 
issues, complete their work, and reconstruct the nationalit}' which 
they cemented with their blood, upon the sure foundation of equal 
rights, equal laws, ecjual suflrage and equal justice. 
I have the honor to be, sir, 

Very respectfully yours,
